In the absence of real-life role models, children may construct an understanding of the role of women in science based largely on the images of women scientists they see in the media. This study assesses the images used in the portrayal of a female astronomer in Contact. The themes used as a framework for the analysis were the early encouragement in science, professional status, professional reputation, professional relationships, and impact of personal relationships on career goals. The film’s portrayal of a woman scientist is discussed in light of empirical data and anecdotal reports on the actual experiences of women scientists.
